yeah if your definition of modern music is just what you hear on the radio, i'm afraid your opinion doesn't hold that much weight
Modern popular music is what you here on the radio. No ones saying there isn't good music in the 2000's but what's popular through the majority is shit.
music has changed. what you hear on the radio is an incredibly small portion of what's easily obtainable nowadays.
My Top 10 songs of all time would probably include at least 6 songs from the 70's. That would have to be my favourite decade.
^ Ritual de lo Habitual for sure. Whole albums pretty good but that last half that starts at Three Days is insanely brilliant.
I love Nothing's Shocking, just love the album til death. And love "Just Because" dunno why but i love it
80s and probably the last 5 years or so. Kinda gay to concede but I am a pretty big synth-pop/new wave fan so enjoyed a ton of stuff from the 80s, also enjoyed the rock groups such as Foreigner, Icehouse, Boom Crash Opera and so on. However, last 5 years have been pretty big for me with the huge rise of EDM, and I really dig a lot of the prog house stuff of today, as mainstream as that sounds. 90s were good too but I'm just not quite a big enough grunge/rock fan for it to make my pick.
there are a number of very prominent electronic artists who are heavily featuring 80s-style synths in their releases nowadays. worth looking out for them.
Undoubtedly true, but the radio tunes are still, by and large, the most 'popular' in the short term Anyway. Probably the 90s. In fact, definitely. Shout out to the 60s as well.
Probably not just the bands of the 70s that made me prefer that decade but for certain bands I think the 70s material was their best stuff. Rush a perfect example, love all their 1970s albums but whilst I do like the 80s material I have heard it does sound very commercialised though. 70s was Pink Floyd at their best too as well. Numerous bands I like were at their best in that particular decade.
My top five albums are: 1. Sticky Fingers (1971), 2. The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (1972), 3. Dark Side of the Moon (1973), 4. Led Zeppelin IV (1973), 5. The White Album (1968) It'd be amazing if I could pick 1965-1975, The Beatles peaked. For a brief moment in history of 3-4 years, His holiness Mick Taylor joined the Stones and they had the greatest peak of any musical act ever, Pink Floyd peaked, Led Zeppelin peaked and Hendrix peaked. If hard pressed: It'd be 70s and then 60s. 90s also special for me due to primarily Radiohead/Blur complemented by some other excellent bands. 70s, 60s, 90s, daylight, 80s, daylight, daylight, 00s.
